Pair of Large Calibre Early 19th Century Boxlock Flintlock Pocket Pistols Finely Engraved with Lions and Hounds
Both in fine condition with damascus barrels and steel button safeties and folding triggers.
The bevel edged slab sided one piece grips are in excellent condition and the barrels both unscrew well.
The bodies are clearly stamped with the Liege Proof Mark and each has a corresponding number on the body and barrel 1 and 2.
Both actions work fine, but is crisper on Pistol marked 1.
The animal scenes on each side of the boxlock are very fine, depicting Lions on one side and Hounds on the other. This is a beautiful design that I have not seen before.
Barrels 5cm, overall lengths 15.5cm.
This antique pistol is considered obsolete and non functioning, and is sold as a collectable item. This product is available for purchase in the UK without a license.
